Where Art Meets the Heart

This archive was started in September 2005 as a means of chronicling the effort involved in creating my paintings and to help aspiring acrylic painters understand my technique and motivation for the construction of each work.  The first painting I chronicled was a portrait of Missie, our beloved little raccoon friend.  Unfortunately, I started this chronicle mid-way through the Missie painting, and paintings created prior to Missie, were not chronicled.  For those paintings created since, to view the history of each work's developement, either click on the painting's thumbnail image or the link associated with its name.
